Draft rumors (Cowboys)

[DTown214]

I really think the pick will be either Ramsey or Tunsil... whoever is not taken @ 3. But I want Zeeeeeeke :/

What my top 5 board looks like (not including QBs):
1. Elliott
2. Ramsey
3. Tunsil
4. Bosa
5. Buckner

 

[BoysWin]

They should add that's it's not just Jones that likes Zeke, but Garrett and Linehan prefer him and that Rod is also fine with Zeke over Bosa. Still think if Ramsey is there, that's the pick.

Ramsey is an overrated football player for a great athlete. Please say no to Ramsey

 

[Cowboys20]

I don't understand why some people on this board would like for the Cowboys to use the #4 pick on a RB (Zeke) when we just signed Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden and Lance Dunbar are still on the roster?

I believe the Cowboys are content with the running back spot with Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden to handle the job. It makes no sense to waste a #4 pick to bring in another RB.

I believe the Jones' are picking a defensive player at 4 if they stay. I really hope they focus on the D-Line and pick Bosa.

With Orlando Scandrick coming back from injury along with Byron Jones and yes, Carr and Claiborne, I don't see them picking Ramsey. They just re-signed Claiborne this past offseason .

Bosa should be the pick, IMO.

 

[CWR]

I was never a fan of Elliot at #4, but that seals it for me. If history has proven anything, its to always do the opposite of what Jerry Jones wants to do.

Yeah Jones has been awful in the first. I mean he's only hit on it like 4 out of the last 5 years.

 

[CWR]

You take Ramsey, then DL in 2nd..... Then you can shift to offense in 3rd & 4th.....plenty of good RB found there.....

Id love Elliot but that's tough to argue against.

No way is Denver taking one of these scrub QBs at 31. John Elway is smarter than that -- he knows full well that the value at the end of round 1 is on defense, not reaching for some hack QB. Any team who actually pulls the trigger on one of these bozos in round 1, when you have so much talent at other positions to choose from, should get their collective heads checked.

Bradford to Denver?

You had me with you until you said take Bosa. Dude is a high risk player. Why waste a pick on him when he isn't elite or doesnt seem to be. Take Ramsey and decide by practice if he is better at cb or safety. Guy is a freak of an athlete, clean off the field.

This taking guys and then being a locker room cancer, failing drug tests and missing games sucks. Period. Take Ramsey.

If the Cowboys take Elliott at #4 with Ramsey and Bosa available, it will show they either have no idea what they're doing, or they had no idea what they were doing in the past regarding running backs. I don't care how good he is, paying a RB that #4 money throws the entire team structure out of whack.

If Romo and Dez can return to full health, the offense will be fine; if not, Elliott won't make much difference.

Well technically if Jerry had his way, we wouldn't have Martin. We'd have just cut Manziel.

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

Ramsey or Bosa makes the most sense. The 2nd round should just be best player available between de, qb, rb, wr, and lb. I maintain that I do not want Elliot unless there is a trade back scenerio where we acquire additional premium picks that can address other needs and Elliot is by far the best available player.

Oh yes, he would make a difference.

Not at #4.

Technically if Jerry wanted to have his way he would have had his way. Kind of a luxury when being the owner and GM of the team.

If Zeke turns out, then none of those options are anywhere near what we'd be getting from Zeke. McFadden is perennially injured and although he was healthy last year and put up decent yard,s there's no guarantee he will be healthy this year and he didn't put fear in opposing offenses like Murray did. We had one year where we actually broke out of mediocrity, and that was the year we had a dominating run game. I don't know why there is so much adversity towards possibly putting a dominant running talent behind that dominating line and going back to the only formula that has worked for us in the past half decade.

I'm not overly impressed with Linehan wanting a RB. He wanted Ronnie Brown in Miami and he drafted him. Brown was a miss. He drafted Brian Leonard in the 2nd round in St Louis and the guy was gone by his 3rd season. He drafted Jahvid Best in the 1st round with Detroit and he was a miss. He drafted Michael Leshoure the next year and he was a bust. Fact is, Linehan has never hit on a RB in 14 years in the NFL as an OC or HC.

Best wasn't a list conclusions took him out ...and Lineman also never had this Oline either so can't compare the Lions to Cowboys

 

[Sydla]

Except he didn't two years ago. He wanted Manziel. Stephen and the scouts overruled him.

 

[Beast_from_East]

I'll puke if we take a running back at 4! The whole idea makes me sick. I'll wipe my mouth and get on board like a big boy if they do, but I can't believe this conversation is even happening.

Ramsey can't catch, Bosa can't get sacks, Jack has one leg, Buckner has the strength of a small baby, Tunsil is overkill, Etc....

Now do you see why Zeke is being considered?

 

[CWR]

Apparently your not grasping the concept that Jerry put people in place and empowered them to do just that. He doesn't have to employ them. Again, he is the owner and GM. He took thier advise and utilized it to ultimately pick Martin over Manziel. So yes Jerry has hit on 4 of the last 5 picks. You can't just ignore the fact he went away from his opinion in order to trust in his staff. It's only a democracy because Jerry allows it to be.

My original point was that Jerry (and the Cowboys) have hit on 4 of the last 5 first round picks. That's a fact. Always nice to argue (debate) just for the sake of arguing though.

Where the defense stands at this time and the suspensions and loss of our defensive line players, the Cowboys have no choice but to take the most dominate defensive lineman in college football. Joey Bosa is a freak of nature with speed, amazing footwork and tackling ability. He has the talent to have an immediate impact on this team.

I honestly believe his past issues will not prevent his draft status.

With Orlando coming back, it seems drafting another DB (Ramsey) would be redundant and a waste of a high pick who most likely will not get immediate playing time with the current defensive back rotation.

Improving the defensive line with a player in Bosa will improve the secondary play.

Exactly. I can't speak for everyone, but I want Zeke because I think he's the best prospect of a bad bunch. Of those 5, I think Zeke has the best potential to be a superstar. That's the complete football player I want at 4. Don't care about his position. You go for the playmaker everytime.

The QBs are gone. We're not getting one. We need to build for right now because Romo doesn't have much longer left.
